As we turn our lives over to Jesus, changes begin to take place. Miraculously, our hearts, minds, our very souls are filled with Christ’s righteousness, even though we may not feel different. And added to His righteousness, He uses our unique qualities and gifts, our varied personalities and quirks to be used for His glory.
All of our old sins, our present foibles, our future mistakes are washed away, never to be used against us again. Forgiven! Cleansed! Pure as snow! The old has gone!
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17
New creations, born anew, fitted for eternal life. Rejoice today in the good news. New adventures await both in this life and forevermore.
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up. Do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness, streams in the desert. Isaiah 43:19
Father,
Your only Son, Jesus, continually transforms and renews, somehow using us as our true selves. We are in awe of the way You redeem and create. Keep up your good work in us, as we turn more and more to You.
In Jesus name,
Amen
